The concentrated solution outside the bag has a higher solute concentration than the dilute solution inside the bag. As a result, water molecules move from an area of higher concentration (inside the bag) to an area of lower concentration (outside the bag) through the semipermeable membrane. This causes the bag to lose water and shrink in size.
